• 2 large carrots
• 2 large celery stalks
• 1 cup chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.

Step 3

Place the chicken on a roasting pan or oven-safe skillet.

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, and sage.

Cut the garlic cloves and lemon in half. Place them inside the chicken cavity.

Step 7

Season the outside of the chicken with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into large chunks and scatter them around the chicken in the pan.

Step 9

Pour the chicken broth into the pan around the vegetables not directly onto the chicken.

Step 10

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 11

If the skin browns too quickly, cover the chicken loosely with foil.

Step 12

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Serve the roasted chicken with the vegetables from the pan.
